Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup slivered almonds
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup freshly grated Swiss
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
8 slices regular-cut bacon, fried crisp and chopped fine
4 green onions, sliced, green and white parts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Place the almonds in a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast them until golden brown and toasted, shaking the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan, set aside and cool to room temperature.
Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to a large bowl and stir until smooth. Add the three types of cheeses and stir again until well combined. Add the bacon, toasted almond slivers, 3/4 of the sliced green onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne. Stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
Transfer to a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.
Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve with crackers and corn chips.
